&gt; Hi everyone,
&gt; 
&gt; Last week I presented OCCI at the IGT2009 conference and participated
&gt; in a short panel discussion about cloud standards, moderated by Reuven
&gt; Cohen and including a representative of the Zend Simple Cloud API.
&gt; 
&gt; Here are the slides:
&gt; <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.slideshare.net/shl0m0/igt2009-the-open-cloud-computing-interface">http://www.slideshare.net/shl0m0/igt2009-the-open-cloud-computing-interface</a>
&gt; 
&gt; The panel discussion touched on these three questions:
&gt; 
&gt; 1) What is the driver for cloud standards - do businesses really want them?
&gt; I said that the main driver for standardization is coming from the
&gt; Government. Now that they need to buy cloud, and to define it before
&gt; they can buy it, standards will be needed in order to fulfill
&gt; Government purchasing requirements.
&gt; 
&gt; 2) Why not just use the existing de-facto standards such as the EC2
&gt; API, as opposed to creating de-jure standards?
&gt; I said that we need to focus on the vision: the vision is "open cloud"
&gt; and a healthy ecosystem. The current de-facto standard is not
&gt; compatible with that vision, since it is IP encumbered. Instead we
&gt; need to push for an open standard.
&gt; 
&gt; 3) Why don't you two guys (OCCI and Simple Cloud API) work together?
&gt; I smiled, reached over, and shook the Simple Cloud API rep's hand.
&gt; 
&gt; Shlomo
